In May 2024, East Preston Parish Council held its first Repair Café session. Aligned to the international Repair Café organisation, the monthly sessions aim to repair household items, hopefully giving them a new lease of life and saving them from going to landfill. In June 2025, the Repair Café became an independent body within the village. 

The remaining dates for 2026 are:

Saturday, 12th September

Saturday, 10th October

Saturday, 14th November

Saturday, 12th December

Each session is currently held in East Preston Infant School, Lashmar Road, BN16 1EZ. Doors open at 10:00 and last entry is at 12:30.
